" THE SOIL REMAINS IN ITS PLACE."

1.-THE SOIL REMAINS IN ITS PLACE."
IT, will be well remembered that Mt an agri-
cultural fair held few years ago MIR. Cleveland
thrilled his audience by reminding them that
"the soil remains in its place.' The aphorism
at once found its way into the newspapers ana
awakened on all sides the admiration due 10 liS
conceded truth. Not even the most bitter polit-
cal opponcnt Of Mr. Cleveland ever questioned It's
accuracy and long ago with bis monogram upon
it, il was awarded its appropriate niche IN tho
pantheon devoted to The Sayings of Great Men.
But now here comes George i. Chandler OF
Ithaca, and in a letter 20 The Buffalo Express"
insnuatcs that the famous observation did not
originate with Mr.. Cleveland All, msfortunes

The only claim that this person mas 10

for decorating the hug waist OF the big orltc

WHO ABANDONED REFORMf

II there be one subject more than another
on which Mr.. George William Curtis considers
himself fully and accurately Informed, and
on which he ought TO be informed, it is the
record of men and the attitude OF parties Oh
Civil Service Reform. But in Harper y
Weekly" OF August q, in an article entitled
"The Opening of the Campaign he has
made an amazing misstaten,cnt- so directly
the opposite of what is true as to deserve
conspicuous mention and require isom hin. q
distinct withdrawal.
The article commends the Ohio Democratic
resolution on the tariff, and, by contrast.
assais the Republican attitude On Civil Service.
In connection with this subject he uses this
language: "A Republican President un-
doubtedly recommended reform; but 1T
was deliberately abandoned by a Republican
Congress-
This statement is remarkable for two
things First There Is no mention OF tho
fact that the last Republican Congress, the
XLVllth, was the body which passed the Civil
Service Reform Act Mr.. Curtis cannot have
forgotten this fact. Second, 1t Is charged
that this reform 90 was deliberately abandoned
by Republican Congress- There is not a
vestige of authority for this charge. The
XLYIIth Congress, which was Republican.

have been Democratic in the Representative
branch, including the present Congress, not

press have abandoned this reform?
Somebody did turn its back on the reform.
in the next year after the Republicans enacted

House of Representatives to repeal those sec

Curtis's hungry and thirsty set are The

they have given to this hour no sign of regret

signs OF an unrelenting purpose to crush this
